The M&E system for the China Watershed Management Project (CWMP) has been developed on the base of the M&E system that has been implemented during the previous two phases of the World Bank Loess Plateau Project. The final report presents the main outcomes of this process. The major findings of the M&E systems review are summarized in the following chapter two. The steps of developing and agreeing the M&E framework are presented in chapter three. Chapter four will describe the specific features of and challenges for watershed M&E before chapter five goes into a detailed presentation of the M&E framework. The M&E framework is most significant outcome of this assignment because it brings together all the agreements and considerations around institutional and methodological issues of M&E. The key parameters for M&E are defined in the framework, but they are further specified into operational steps in the M&E guidelines which are prepared as a separate document.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREANALYTICAL METHODSBASELINE SURVEYSBASINSBENEFICIARIESBENEFIT ANALYSISBIODIVERSITYBIOSPHERECAPACITY BUILDINGCATCHMENTCATCHMENTSCISTERNSCLIMATECOMPARATIVE ANALYSISCOMPOSTINGCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCONSERVATIONCONSTRUCTIONCORRECTIVE ACTIONSCOST EFFECTIVENESSCOVERINGCROPSDAMSDATA COLLECTIONDATA COLLECTION METHODSDATA QUALITYDATA SETSDECISION MAKINGDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERECOLOGICAL BENEFITSECOLOGICAL CONDITIONSECOLOGICAL PROCESSESECOLOGYECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC INDICATORSECOSYSTEMSENGINEERINGENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLESEROSIONEROSION CONTROLEXTERNAL MONITORINGEXTERNALITIESFIELD MEASUREMENTSFIELD WORKFLOODFLOOD CONTROLFLOODINGFLOODSFORESTFORESTRYFORESTSFRUITGEOLOGYGRASSESGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER RECHARGEHUMAN ACTIVITIESHUMAN SETTLEMENTSHYDROLOGICAL STATIONHYDROLOGICAL STATIONSHYDROLOGYIMPACT ASSESSMENTIMPACT INDICATORSIMPACT MONITORINGINCOMEINTERNATIONAL WATERINTERVENTIONIRRIGATIONLAND DEGRADATIONLAND MANAGEMENTLAND USELAND USESLEARNINGLIVELIHOODLIVELIHOODSM&E SYSTEMSMARKET FACTORSMICROWATERSHEDMONITORING & EVALUATIONMONITORING DATAMONITORING TEAMSMOUNTAINSNATURAL RESOURCE BASENATURAL RESOURCESNON-POINT SOURCE POLLUTIONOILORGANIC CARBONPARTICIPATION IN M&EPARTICIPATORY APPROACHPARTICIPATORY EVALUATIONPARTICIPATORY MONITORINGPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPLANTATIONSPLOTSPM&EPOINT SOURCEPOINT SOURCE POLLUTIONPONDSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY IMPACTSPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY MONITORINGPOVERTY OUTCOMESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRESSUREPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSPROJECT BENEFICIARIESPROJECT EVALUATIONPROJECT IMPACTSPROJECT MANAGEMENTPROJECT MONITORINGPROJECT OBJECTIVESQUALITATIVE ANALYSISQUALITATIVE EVALUATIONRAINRAINFALLRAINWATERREMOTE SENSINGRESERVOIRSRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESOURCE USERESTORATIONRIVERRIVER BASINSRIVERSRUNOFFRURAL COMMUNITIESSAMPLE SIZESEDIMENTSEDIMENT LOADSEDIMENTSSMALL WATERSHEDSOIL CONSERVATIONSOILSSPECIESSTREAMSTREAM CHANNELSSTREAMSSURFACE FLOWSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE POVERTY REDUCTIONTARGETINGTRANSPARENCYVEGETATIONVEGETATIVE COVERWATER CONSERVATIONWATER FLOWWATER FLOWSWATER MANAGEMENTWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCESWATER SECTORWATER YIELDWATERSHEDWATERSHED APPROACHWATERSHED BOUNDARIESWATERSHED CONTEXTWATERSHED DEVELOPMENTWATERSHED LEVELWATERSHED MANAGEMENTWATERSHED MONITORINGWATERSHEDSWELL BEINGWELL DIGGINGWETLANDWETLANDSWorld Bank10.1596/8168
